I guess I'm just not a Warriors series guy. I had heard of Dynasty Warriors for quite some time & never tried it, but when they released this (which I assume is essentially DW with a Zelda coat of paint), I decided to take the plunge. And I mean, it's alright. Fighting ridiculously huge hoards of enemies is really fun for, like... maybe 15-20 minutes? Played maybe a level & a half before deciding I had my fill. It's fine, but the fun of its core gameplay loop just doesn't last that long for me personally.
Hyrule Warriors is a bombastic hack-and-slash spectacle that mashes up the Dynasty Warriors formula with the beloved world of The Legend of Zelda. Players will plow through massive armies as iconic Zelda characters, unleashing flashy moves and conquering familiar battlegrounds. While the gameplay can get repetitive, the fan service is top-notch, offering a power trip as you cut through legions of enemies with signature Zelda weapons and abilities. If you enjoy simple, satisfying combat and hold a fondness for Zelda lore, Hyrule Warriors delivers hours of mindless fun.
